Tarcisio Celestino, new President (2016-2019) of the
International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association.
“This is a big
congress, as we all know at this moment the biggest congress in ninety history
and of course it could expect that beign
in the United States, but on the other hand we did not see this in 1996. The
congress also hear it was not so significant as it is now. So one good thing about this many good things about this
congress but one of them is that being so big it how loud the number of
technical sessions also to be large number
and I cannot think of any
important subjet in tunneling that wich has not been covered in at least one
technical session.
I‘d say the major,
our major role, is to increase the talon market it has been increasing but on
the other hand we still see that there is a lot of demand for underground works. Things wich are still
constructed on surface wich should not and this is what we should influence
most, in other words the activity of why go underground use of underground
space if we can improve that.
I´m very sure that
all the other activities will come also with their improvements it will be a
consequence good role that. I had in this sense is to influence the member
nations to start because we cannot just go to a constant that directly to the
government. It´s much easier if we do that throuh the member nations their role
of member nations to approach government and in each country and influence and
show how underground solutions are much better in some situations.
I´m very sure that
the benefits of this congress will take longer to take some time to digest and
have a good sense and that the results will do very good and will not feel them
next month, it will something wich for the next 12 months we´re coming up.“
